Hey,
I am fairly new to the NA screen so I didn't get time to research much but for some bizarre reason, if my alarm message is long instead of going to the next line it just continues. Is there a specific way of creating a multiline alarm.
Any suggestion or if you have inside for a crash course on NA screen would be helpful.
Thanks

Dear all,
Does anyone have a NTXS verion 1.03? I can only find ver 1.04 in the internet.
I am having a trouble while replacing NT3S-ST124B-E. The old one is using RS422 Communication. using a 5 cable in pin 1, 4,5,8, and 9. But it can not communicate after i download the old program I uploaded(firmware ver 1.03) to the new unit (firmware ver 1.04). it keep saying com 1 Communication Error. From the manual NTXS software, I discovered that the communication driver supposed to be downloaded together with the firmware.
I used this cable RS-232 connection for programming (upload /download) and it works perfectly fine:
db 9 Male (NT3S-ST124B-E) to db 9 female (PC)
2 to 2
3 to 3
5,9 jumper to 5
The program i managed to upload using NTXS 1.04 in Win 7 32 bit and sucessfully download to the new NT3S in Win XP 32 bit (tried so many times but it fails on Win 7 32 bit). The program says that the NT3S is connected to CJ1 PLC.
The cable used to connect to the old NT3S is using Pin 1,4,5,8,9 which means it should be RS422 (Xtra Drive).
I wanted to try using version 1.03 but I can not find it.

Hi,
I write app to smartphone to communication omron CJ1m and Android. I want to connect devices by standard bluetooth. I plug in bluetooth adapter directly to omron RS232.
I want to ask you, how i can connect by FINS command.
Bluetooth device baud rate is set 9600.
If i connect to omron, i sent code: "AC01" and i sent how long as omron return me "AC01" ??
And what's next command i sent?
If I want read CIO 10 i sent: "0101B000000A" ? and FCS and "*" ??
how i calculate FSC? Is it XOR my data sent?

Hello everyone!
Briefly introduction, I would like to communicate and test the following hardwares:
1- Omron CP1E (using an Option Port CP1W-CIF11) ; and
2- Arduino Nano using MAX485 RS485 transceiver.
The CP1E will operate in "Modbus-RTU simple master" as illustrated in image 01. The arduino will be in slave mode address 1 and the library used is "SimpleModbus NG" ( https://github.com/angeloc/simplemodbusng/tree/master/SimpleModbusSlave ).
Taking the sample in official manual ( https://industrial.omron.eu/en/services-support/technical-tools/downloads#cp1e ) , pages 248-253 in the "CP1E CPU Unit Software User's Manual" (Image 04) describes a sample communication to an "Inverter Slave".
I want to use the Arduino Slave as the Inverter Slave just to be sure that all previous steps are correct.
Therefore, I would like to know:
1- As illustrated in Image 02, Am I missing any resistors?
2- Should I connect the GND to the FG?
3- In this scenario, the DIP switch setup should be as illustrated in image 03? Only DIP4 is OFF.
4- Can I test it just forcing A641.00 and checking the DM Area Data, as shown in Image 05?
The code used in it is the following:
// Wiring: Arduino and MAX485
// RX0 - RO
// TX1 - DI
// D2 - DE/RE
#include "SimpleModbusSlave.h"
enum {
REGISTER_0,
REGISTER_1,
REGISTER_2,
REGISTER_3,
REGISTER_4,
REGISTER_5,
REGISTER_6,
REGISTER_7,
REGISTER_8,
TOTAL_REGS_SIZE
};
unsigned int holdingRegs[TOTAL_REGS_SIZE] = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 };
void setup() {
modbus_configure(&Serial, 9600, SERIAL_8N1, 1, 2, TOTAL_REGS_SIZE, holdingRegs);
}
void loop() {
modbus_update();
}
Any answer can be helpful. Thank you for your time!
Regards,
Jose.

I using easymodbus library to connect and read data from 3 PLCs CP1L
but it run unstablely, sometime it disconnect and i cant re-connect PLC, it give error time out when i try to reconnect
when it happen, i restart PLC and everything back to work. Someone please help me. I am new with modbus and omron

Hi all.
I have a question about how to set up the motor in rotary mode.
My application will be a basic rotary table driven by a servo motor without gearbox between.
So, in my servo drive axis settings, I select the motor as a rotary mode.
then I defined the maximum position setting value for 360 degrees, and minimum to 0. So far so good.
But the problem comes when I want to make an absolute move using the mc_moveAbsolute to move 360 degrees.
Whit this settings the error "target position settings out of range " will come up.
So, what is the solution to rotate 360 degrees without generating this error?
if I set up the maximum value to 361 degrees and then if I rotate 360 the error will not occur and the motor will rotate 360 degrees as I aspected, but it's this correct ? or there is another way to do it?
Thanks

Hello, i'm newbie for plc.
i want to ask about PC/computer send data to PLC CP1E with serial communication (RS232).
my wiring cable is:
PC PLC
2 2
3 3
5 9
4&6
7&8
4&5
and if i send data from PC to PLC, my indicator in COMM is blinking. i think the cable have no problem.
but if i send data from PC to PLC, the memory is not same as what i send and whatever i send data, the memory didn't change.
i will attach my ladder diagram.
what should i do?

Hello All
I am new to PLC programming , i have a question regarding omron PLC and High speed counters. I am using Cp1H-XA model plc . I connected HSC port 0 with a encoder and i was able to get the speed of the encoder using PRV2 instruction. Now i am trying to connect the second encoder from the servo motor that i am using to HSC port 1. I am getting the PV signal using PRV instruction . Is there a way to calculate the speed of the servo encoder connected the HSC port 1 using PRV command , since i can't use the PRV2 command for the servo encoder .
Thanks in advance .

Greetings everyone. I'm new here.
Hoping to get help to operate the Omron V400-R2 barcode to the Mitsubishi QJ71C24N so that they can communicate the two devices with the correct method. PLC: Mitsubishi: Q03UDVCPU; barcode: Omron V400-R2; serial communication module: QJ71C24N. I use RS 232 communication cable, I have tried using predefined protocol and non protocol procedures but still can't communicate the two devices.
I really appreciate your help.

Halo, my name is Riandanu,
I connect PLC Omron CP1E to weighing scale, and its done. i think i dont have problem between PLC and weighing scale.
And i want to ask about, how to compare value from weighing scale ?
example : from the picture you can see value of weighing scale is " ST,+00160.66 g", and i want to compare it with 180 or 150 to give output on to lamp.
Thankyou

Design Improvement Ideas :
I currently use a 24v DC slipping brake (either Clarke or Warner) to prevent a reel of film from over-rotating -
With Previous motion controllers - i have used timers at first then progressed to using a Virtual axis and a switch to make my pulse from NX- Digital output card to a Solid State Relay (PSWITCH command for anyone familiar with TrioBasic) and this has worked pretty well.
I have the same physical setup on a new piece of machinery but am now using NJ and Sysmac -
Have used a TOF and TON in inline ST to control brake and it sort off works - brake can feel a bit lumpy and can chatter and bounce a bit adn am worried about the reliability when the machine is running and the controller is doing more.
(brake cycle time t#10ms and tried at 100ms also)
I did try using the Time Proportional Out FB - but this was far worse than the above.
I think i will try my luck at created a new virtual axis e.g.
Rotary Mode - min 0 max 1000
Run with MC_Move_Velocity when Machine is running and use an MC_digital Cam Switch to create my output Pulse.
I am new to the Forum and trying to get more involved with others rather than working in Isolation - so wondering if anyone has any suggestions or thoughts or have done anything similar in SS?
Thanks in Advance,

Hello,
I am using Omron CP-1E PLC and expansion module 16ER and tc module.
When plc operated alone it goes to run mode when expansion module is connected either 16ER or TC module plc ALM/ERR led turned on.

Hello all,
I have a Omron 3G3MX2-AB004-V1 Inverter (VSD) connected via EtherCAT that I need to reference (home) and also perform a relative move.
I am looking for a Function Block with the following Inputs/Outputs for my Omron NX1P2-1140DT1 PLC for use in Sysmac Studio.
Inputs - Takes the Encoder signal as a Position obtained via a Motion Control Axis (setup as an Encoder axis) - Takes a Homing sensor input (Sensor triggers on each conveyor belt cleat) - Take either a Reference or RelativeMove signal (to Home the inverter or MoveRelative respectively) - Takes the distance to move for a RelativeMove Outputs - Forward - Reverse - Velocity - Done - Busy - Error
Has anyone done this before from a PLC FB for this inverter who could help me please?
Many thanks,
Richard

Here is a link to a thread on a recent post showing how to communicate serially to an Omron PLC using VB.Net. This uses the Omron Host Link serial protocols. (C-Mode Commands) It will read 10 DM registers and display them on the form.
http://accautomation.ca/implementing-the-omron-host-link-protocol-vb-net/
Here is the source program that can be downloaded.

Hello
I'm new for PLC, I need to set pump turn ON/OFF in 4 time/day every day => [8:00-8:10]a.m, [11:00-11:20]a.m, [2:00-2:10-14:10[p.m, [5:00-5:20]p.m
** I have Omron PLC CP1E-N30 ,
Could you advise me, please ?

My apologies for being a newbie on this, but could someone save me on this... I have a Viper 650 and an eMB-60R controller which I want to control by ePLC connection using an NJ501-1300 PLC unit, SYSMAC Studio with EIP Adept Library for Robot... All are starting up well, and I connect all components to a switch hub... But following the ePLC guidelines, the IP Address showing on the controller is 172.16.132.111
I change the IPV4 IP Address on the PC settings to 172.16.132.10 and the subnet to 255.255.0.0 but the Adept IP Address Setting Tool on SYSMAC doesn't detect the Robot IP Address, also i tried ipconfig on command prompt which shows a different IP Address IPV4 169.254.197.75 and subnet of 255.255.0.0, I changed the previous setting on the PC setting to 169.254.197.10 with the same subnet. But still PC doesn't recognize. I tried both configurations if ACE Software can detect it but the same ACE can not detect it also... Appreciate any thoughts on what's wrong in my configurations. Thank you.

I am using CJ2M PLC.I want switch on a output for certain time by a timer and holding bit if interlocks satisfied.If interlock not OK timer has to hold the time and output should be off. if again interlocks OK again output has to ON upto balance time completion and has to give timer done output for reset holding bit.please suggest.

Hi,
I am trying to do a merge move on 1S Servo. The condition are as follows:
Task: Move 2 in(absolute value) and then Move back to 1 in (absolute value). I have to do this move 10 times in a row.
The application is material leveling after dumping in the mold.
The only question i have is if I use just MC_MoveAbsolute command, the only buffer mode for transition available is velocity. Is there a way i can do it with position. I dont want to stop when I can go from 1 to 2 and 2 to 1 again and again. Its time consuming. But rather a nice oscillation motion without stopping to mimic leveling.
Can anybody please help me out with this problem.
Thanks

So I did this simple Function Block, pretty simple, and yet it keeps giving me this error, after a bunch of failed combinations the error persists, without telling me whats wrong. And therefore won't even allow me to download the program to the PLC (CJ2M CPU31) or even simulate.
I heard it's a simple thing to fix but I really dont know how to, since I'm quite new to this.
Here's the function block itself in the picture and the programming inside it, although since it gives me no errors, i don't think that would be the problem
